Farmer’ S Movement at Crossroads

Situation assessment as on 08/02/2021 | Price: Rs 500/-

The trajectory of farmers’ protests is at crossroads. Negotiations are stuck on two crucial demands - repeal of the farm laws and legal protection to Minimum Support Price (MSP).  With the police making arrests and barricading Delhi borders, at stake is the very right to peaceful protest in a democracy. The study presents the views of all stakeholders, including Punjab chief minister; right to peaceful protests protected under Constitution; government’s over-reaction to tweets by international celebrities; limitations of the protests; the trust deficit and anger against the political economy of agricultural reforms.
